[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1927099, member: 38864"] I'm going to post a couple links here. I just posted them as a followup to that other thread, but these are very much worth reading. Firstly, you may specifically need Apple's own USB-C to USB-A adapter. [URL unfurl="true"]https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252051290[/URL] Secondly, be sure to not be plugging into a hub, or at least not a hub that doesn't have its own power supply. You may not get enough passthrough power to the drive if you connect to an unpowered hub. This article suggests that even an AC-powered hub may not work. This is a great read.
